    Booted it up again last month, and honestly, the level design still holds up better than people give it credit for.

    Fun with friends, sure, but does anyone actually replay the solo campaign alone?

    Chez moi aussi ça tournait au n'importe quoi, mais une fois les rires passés il ne restait pas grand chose à retenir.

    Mes enfants s'y sont mis récemment et s'amusent, mais eux non plus n'y retournent jamais seuls après.

    Frente a Portal 2 pierde justamente ahí, en el ingenio, aunque como fiesta con amigos gana fácil.

    Portal 2 keeps landing in the same duels as this and it feels almost unfair, one's a puzzle box that reinvents itself and the other is Mario doing Mario things again, competently.

    ¿Tan mal envejeció?

    Y otra vez el mismo Mario reciclado que todos aplauden sin preguntarse por qué está tan alto en la lista.

    Lo jugué en casa de un primo, entre risas y algún mando lanzado contra el sofá.

    The Portal comparisons keep coming up in the same duels, and honestly it says more about how the ranking pairs games than about either title.

  5. ArcadeMaster

    No entiendo por qué sigue en el puesto 341 con ese porcentaje de victorias tan alto, algo no cuadra en el sistema de votos. Lo he jugado bastante y me parece correcto, entretenido, pero no veo esa chispa que sí tienen otros títulos con los que lo comparan. Puede estar un poco sobrevalorado en estos duelos.
